I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. (Joel 2:28, NIV) 

16 …this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy,your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.(Acts 2:16-17, NIV)

…everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved…(Joel 2:32a, NIV) 
 

Key Point: You’re Gifted!

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. (1 Corinthians 12:7, NIV)

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. (Romans 12:6, NLT)

Key Point: Your Gift Has a Purpose!
 

11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.(Ephesians 4:11-13, NLT)

4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. 5 There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. 6 God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us.(1 Corinthians 12:4-6, NLT)

Key Point: Use Your Gift!

10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 4:10-11, NIV)

Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. (1 Corinthians 14:12, NIV)

Key Point: Increase Your Gift!

…fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you… (2 Timothy 1:6, NLT)

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit…. (1 Corinthians 14:1, NIV)
